Dear Grimsleys
I noticed by the paper today that we are having some troubles
at Guilford, which I certainly regret. I appreciate your
letter, received today, setting forth the course of action
being taken and I also regret that I do not concur with many
of the solutions taken.
In the position I find myself now, as Mayor of our city, I am
constantly confronted with race problems. I have met and discussed problems of all sorts, with all size groups and I have
reached some definite conclusions from my five years of experience ♦
As I write this letter, I am at this very moment, on a "standby
duty11 expecting trouble at Elon College. The trial is tonight
for the students at Elon who are involved in a questionable
publication which I am sure you are aware.
I first would suggest, if you haven1t already done so, that you
have a perfect understanding and a close working relationship
with MayoiL-J^TcJglam and the Chief of Police in Greensboro.
Secondly, please knoiT^^
or black, are not always good. They often have a different
face for different groups and they will often tell you only
what is expedient to them. These groups are too often dedicated
to the philosophy of disruption and destruction of the foundations
of our institutions and government. I have in my files documented
evidence that I get from the SBI that would no doubt shock you.
I know the time has come when unreasonable demands cannot be
overlooked as the acts of frustrated or misquided "children".
Nor should we call treason "freedom of speech". We can accomplish
far more by being realistic^. I would also suggest that you discuss
thffse frypaa.. ^"pnoUIems in your office with not over two or three
representing the ^roup. HITthlT^
group, you can rest assured they are not in good faith. I had
to learn this the hard way.
